Catch-22" What is this novel about? Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is an interesting novel in the fact that throughout the entire novel the plot seems to go nowhere. It just seems to be a bunch of events strung together through the main character Yossarian. These events, however powerful, don't seem to lead to much of a point, until the reader finishes. Then, out of nowhere, comes the meaning behind the book. Heller does a great job of ending the book. By having Yossarian run away the meaning of the book is set in stone. Catch-22 is a novel which discusses the fact that the importance or value of one thing to one person, could be completely different to another, like in the cases of selling goods over human life with ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen, Milo Minderbinder with his wheeling and dealing and Doc Daneeka and his description of what it takes to get home. Each character in the novel seems to have a certain way in which they judge their power, importance, worth and/or duty. Throughout t!he entire book, the only character that resembles someone with good opinions of himself is Yossarian. He appears to be the only character that realizes the insignificance the war effort is because almost all the people in the novel are fighting for the wro
The agreement was that he would get the money for the attack plus six percent. Yossarian argues about just this very point. That's all he has to do to be grounded? [Yossarian] That's all. Then Milo turned around and made a deal with the Germans for defending the bridge at the same cost-plus-six agreement with a bonus of a thousand dollars for each plane shot down(p. He also made deals which involved Americans attacking a bridge at Orvieto. In order to prevent things from happening, this catch-22 was established to allow anything to happen or not happen as desired. You mean there's a catch? Sure there's a catch. Heller summarizes it best at the end when Yossarian is arguing with Major Danby on whether to run away or not.
